Geordan Newbill, the Buffalo Soldiers of Seattle program director, recently sat down with host Trae Holiday on “The Day With Trae” to discuss the impact of equine programs on youth and the community at large.

Newbill’s connection to the Buffalo Soldiers began when he was just six years old, captivated by the sight of Black men riding horses at local events. Today, he is a steward for the next generation, working to dispel historical myths and perpetuate the Buffalo Soldiers’ deep roots in Washington state.

Operating out of Tacoma and Fife, Washington, the Buffalo Soldiers of Seattle offer community-focused initiatives that extend far beyond basic riding lessons. One signature initiative, Equine Days at the Park, introduces families to the vast opportunities within the equine world, including career paths, college scholarships, and therapeutic practices. These programs are intentionally multi-generational, designed so that parents, grandparents, and children can learn together.
